Bug #: 37461
Summary: Language variant conversion for labels doesn't work
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If you go to http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/Data:Q2?uselang=sr you
can see the label "Хелијум". If you go to
http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/Data:Q2?uselang=sr-el I expect you
should see the label transliterated to Latin alphabet as "Helijum" but there is
no label at all. MediaWiki interface is transliterated correctly.
Interestingly, if you try to enter the label, you get "Database query error"
instead of "Unrecognized value for parameter 'language': sr-el" that might be
expected.
In my opinion, the correct way of handling this is that it should be possible
to enter the labels in language variants, and that these labels should be
displayed if they exist; if they do not exist, they should be made by the
automatic conversion to the variant from the "main" label.
